A black and white comic panel of Queenie the chicken interrupting a werewolf from terrorizing the traumatized farmer, Emmaline. She is a very good chicken.

Happy #WerewolfWednesday!

This panel pretty succinctly captures the vibes of my comic, #TheFarmerAndTheWolf

This is the thing I want to stress to people who are used to the illustrated kids’ book space. You’re used to being done when you hand in the words. In comics, the writing isn’t done until the pictures are done because the pictures are also writing.

The most beautiful book I own - probably - is The Iron Giant by Ted Hughes, a 1968 hardback. I think reading things like this as a child β€˜does things’ to a person.

My biggest and pettiest peeve about WH discourse is the pervasive myth that Heathcliff successfully kills Isabella’s dog. Nelly saves her and she’s alive to greet Isabella excitedly later in the book. I’m so sick of he β€œmade a gift of her dead dog to her on their wedding” SToOP

If you approach the book ready to condone or condemn Cathy and Heathcliff as a β€œcouple”, you’re already lost in the moors, man. It’s not a will-they-won’t-they/should/shouldn’tβ€”they ARE. It’s allegorical, babes.

I have the full transcript of the comics pages on my site! The one in my site has a more a prosey-description, but just for bluesky summary purposes: the first two pages of book one: the carpet merchant, we open to the Blue Mosque and the bazaar/market suburb of Istanbul: where the main characters live.

Zeynel presenting a very elaborate pink, green and red floral Usak carpet: a floral central medallion surrounded by intricate arabesque florals, with a blue border. His client is very impressed.

The opening illustration for Volume One: A Fragment of a Turkish Tale, which was originally the cover for its English and French print edition. Zeynel is seated with a Quran in his arm, while he holds Ayse's hand on his shoulder. The BG is stylised; large expanses of black trees and bushes filled with gold Ottoman floral embroidery, in front of a red star-filled sky. A bat and a nightingale are in flight around the title.

We start with Zeynel in the middle of tempting a client with magnificent carpet wares, and with me contending with the fact that I'd be drawing so many elaborate patterns.

I am also begging folks to think critically about the way they talk about Heathcliff. I see how ya’ll only have empathy for him in movies when he’s played by a white man…I’ve noticed pAttERns…

β€œAll these characters are terrible!”
Bestie…you do realize one of the main narrators is openly unreliable, with deep internalized classism/misogyny and overt racial prejudice….bestie, you are meant to question her interpretation of these events like…I’m so scared right now

β€œRobinhoods of Havana”, about Cuba’s current-day complicated and surprisingly semi-illegal skateboarding scene. The project has taken different forms since, still trying to find a good medium for it, but would still love to do this one day soon 🀞

I’ve never drawn anything with such ease or creative contentment in my life I think. It’s all downhill from Divine Manatee.

An illustration of Elizabeth and the Creature from Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein. They have halos behind their heads and The Creature is clinging to Elizabeth, shy, almost hiding.

A very bright and cheery almost vintage looking illustration of The Creature from Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein. He’s seated on the ground reading a book, tiny flowers blowing in the breeze and 5 wee little mice are perched on or near him.
